My Grand Seiko
I changed the bracelet to strap. What do you think? Please pardon the shallow DOF as I was too excited to set the camera on the tripod 
This is my first Grand Seiko (this model seems to have been discontinued but I got it cheap from a pawn shop in Japan), and I may get another manual wind one (then I may sell this .... ?)
Now I understand why Grand Seiko has been so praised here. This may be one of the best kept secret. By far the best value/quality in this price range, IMHO. I wonder why Seiko doesn't sell Grand Seiko other than Japan or neighboring Asian countries....?

Actually
Your massive collection post kinda inspired me. Your collection is very impressive. I will go next for SBGW series. Hopefully 003, but may be 005 (because of the blue second hand) and convert it to strap again. 2010 is the 50th anniversary of GS brand and...
Welcome, KIH,
to the world of Grand Seiko! Looks like you got one that is in great condition! I derive a lot of pleasure from mine. Here's mine. Aloha, Bob...
Great stuff
I've handled and tried them on before, these Grand Seiko's, and I've been thoroughly impressed with the finishing and quality which I regard to be better than many other higher priced brands out there. Congratulations on this very beautiful piece, and the...
Nice watch!
Nice watch. Every time I go to visit Japan, I am always on the hunt for Grand Seikos, Seiko Spring Drives, Credor, and those other "Japanese Domestic Market" watches. I never seem to be able to find them; it's easier for me to acquire a Lange than it is t...
Sweet!
Congrats! This is a good-looking timepiece! I really wish Seiko would sell them in America. I love my Seiko 5, and would seriously consider a Grand Seiko if they retailed in the US. Cheers, Daos
Lovely catch Ken
Congrats so far all those shops I visited do not have CS, is it only can get this in Japan ?
A bit more detail on GS Deployant Buckle
Having bought this separately from an AD (in Japan) and re-realizing the retail cost (USD200!!), I think it is worth mentioning and showing more details of this GS SS deployant buckle. Of course, the generic deployant buckles can be bought at 20 or 30, ma...
very nice. i am a fan of GS, but prefer the vintage pieces.
i've had an SBGM009 GMT, but sold it and just kept 2 vintage pieces. a great brand kept unfairly from the western world by the forces within Seiko. Graham...
Thanks a lot Ken. The GMT are my fav Grand Seiko.

Pretty!
especially the baige dials and of course the anniversary specials! i have tet to closely inspect one as they r rather rare beasts this part of the world congrats nevertheless, Ed~
Nice collection...
...I too have the silver dialled GMT, which I like very much apart from one aspect: the multiplicity of different fonts in the (somewhat unnecessary) writing on the dial. However, looking at your black dialled more sporty model it looks as though the word...
Welcome to the world of GS!
While my GS also came on a bracelet: I'm more of a strap person so I switched it over: And as other noted, the deployant is just too good to pass up so... It was a bit difficult to accept a Seiko at first... but honestly, it's a great watch for a Steal pr...
Looks fantastic Ken!
Really like the strap & deployant combo. Wouldn't have it any other way! Now,even though I was very tempted a while ago into getting a GS,it's getting very difficult to resist after seeing this post. fernando
